The Evergreen High School Skilled Trades Center was designed to support construction trades and related academic programs, providing students hands-on experience in small-scale building and manufacturing projects. Intended to replicate real-world skilled trades environments, LSW partnered with EPS, a local PEMB supplier, and private donors to create this industry-leading facility. The 7,300-square-foot center opened on the Evergreen High School campus in May 2023. #Architecture #CTE #CTEPrograms #TechnicalEducation #CareerEducation #TradeSkills #EducationFacility #StudentSuccess

The Columbia River High School 500 Building Addition brings the chemistry, physics, engineering and math programs into one location, creating a more collaborative learning environment that reinforces the interconnected nature of these disciplines. A key feature of the building is an open, centralized space, which acts as a collaborative terminal area where students gather or pass through between classes. A mechatronics lab adds another layer to the Career and Technical Education program and pushed the design team to respond quickly to the integration of additional program elements. #Architecture #VancouverPublicSchools #ColumbiaRiverHS #VancouverWA #STEMEducation #CollaborativeLearning #CareerAndTechnicalEducation #STEMPrograms #EducationDesign #StudentCollaboration #EngineeringEducation #CTE

The vision for Evergreen Place Neighborhood Clinic was to address physical, emotional, and psychological barriers in healthcare by creating a comforting, secure environment. Designed with warm natural light, earthy textures, and a neutral color palette with wood tones and adaptable elements like furniture and plants, the space evokes a spa-like atmosphere. While our team's ethos focused on creating an environment of ease, the design also prioritizes privacy, ensuring a distinctive experience that sets Vancouver Clinic apart from typical top-tier medical facilities. #VancouverClinic #Healthcare #Wellness #Architecture #VancouverWA #HealingEnvironment #HealingSpaces #HealthcareDesign #PatientCare

The Farmstead Apartments are a multifamily housing community that offers 32 townhomes and 144 garden-style apartments thoughtfully spread across 8 acres in the Fircrest neighborhood of Vancouver, Washington. Originally the site of Joe’s Place Farm, a community staple for families, the Farmstead draws inspiration from its roots to create a place where the experience centers on the outdoors. The site layout preserves pedestrian corridors, viewpoints, and a grove of mature conifers that will continue to serve as a habitat for wildlife. #FarmsteadApartments #VancouverWA #FircrestNeighborhood #MultifamilyHousing #Architecture #GardenApartments #OutdoorLiving #GreenSpaces #WildlifeHabitat #PacificNorthwest
